In my experience they know exactly how they work, they want to record everything that happens in the street infront of their house - that is litterally what happens.
Is ring etc really much more of a privacy nightmare than any other cctv? Given the wide spread use, it is easier for police to do a blanket request, but back in ye olde days the officer would stand there, look around and see all the cameras and go make requests where they saw one.
End result is identical, its the same thing with a few extra steps.
- barbazoo 4y agoIt's a set of hurdles that I think wouldn't hurt. Plus more reasonable retention periods to limit the impact on the people around them. I think that would be positive. At least that way police have to intentionally select which cameras to pursue instead of just asking Ring for data on an entire neighborhood what I assume is happening now.
- JohnFen 4y agoThose extra steps can often make all the difference in the world in terms of privacy protection. I object to every public place being monitored by CCTV. I would have less of an objection to every public place having a uniformed officer instead. If nothing else, at least then it would be obvious when you're being watched, so you wouldn't have to be on guard every moment.
- ROTMetro 4y agoThat would be a great augmented reality app. Show a virtual officer standing everywhere there are cameras.
